Taxpayer graduated from college in 2020 and joined National Guard stationed in CT. His state of legal residence is NJ.
In his w2, however, state wage from CT is listed but not NJ.
Should he have the w2 corrected?
Any other options?
Thank you!
Personnel whose home of record is Connecticut
If your home of record is Connecticut you are a resident of Connecticut. As a resident you must file a resident return and pay any tax due unless you meet all of the following conditions for the entire taxable year:
You did not maintain a permanent place of abode in Connecticut;
You maintained a permanent place of abode outside Connecticut; and
You spent 30 days or less in Connecticut.
If you meet all three conditions, you are considered a nonresident of Connecticut for the taxable year.

SLR can be changed, HOR can't.Personnel whose home of record is Connecticut
